Failover Hosting
I was looking around the web today for what is new in the world of webhosting and came across a company called Hosting Zoom. They have a very intersting model when it comes to shared hosting. We all know that shared hosting can be pretty flaky if you have a very popular website. Unfortunately; dedicated hosting costs too much funny. What Hosting Zoom have done is distributed the load across multipe servers. They also make sure that all the data (including emial,wed and database) is mirrored in real time across all these servers. If one server goes down; then the system will automatically switch to the next one and your website will still be up. It is really a great system!
